Just finding my feet with it....but this forum will help...

Anyone looking a sky box one going cheap....
Cheers.

I love my HDR1000. I love the simplicity of it. It's quiet. It does everything.
I love how it can play most media files from USB and the Network. I love how it has BBC iplayer and other On Demand services.
It's reliable. It very rarely lets me down functionally being a recording box. It always works. Yes guys, even my sky HD box let me down often.
It looks nice, it's future proof and it saves a fortune on subscriber bills.

It played everything I threw at it AVI(Divx), AVI(Xvid), WMV, really old WMV, MP4, MPEG1 - I couldn't trip it up. Not that I wanted to, I'm just used to it. I've got a small set-top-box that plays video that failed on many of the formats. My Sony Bravia HDTV says it plays just about anything but failed on about 50% of my files. Only the Humax gets it right. I'm so impressed with it that I'm convinced it's running VLC player in there - how else could they do it.
The menus and layout are perfect. I like that I can delete channels from the line-up that I'll never watch. Love the flexibility of the recording options. The skip buttons are a very welcome return for me, as an ex Tivo user I really missed being able to skip back and forward a "bunch" of seconds. All the time I was using my Sky+HD box I was really missing my old 2001 TiVo and thinking that nothing came close to it. Now I see I was wrong. My Humax 1000S is all that a Sky+HD box and a TiVo can offer combined, but with so much more too. The built-in on-demand apps are great. The iPlayer one seems somehow to be better quality than the one on my Roku box. I hope Netflix gets included in a future release, then I can ditch my Roku completely.
It'll take the rest of the year for my new lack of Sky subscriptions to pay for my new Humax, but after that it's win all the way

I like the fact that Argos gave me a refund without question.

My disabled daughter can use it. The big 'clicky' remote I mean. I am really happy about that. (and I agree with everything above)

9200T. So far it's good. Strange thing is I get a better picture both from recordings and broadcast than I used to get on the Digibox. Once I've got the manual (thanks Jeffers) I'm going to try hooking the audio output to an old Philips amplifier.
Wish me luck,
Jim.
